Preparation
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the meat is browned and cooked thoroughly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook according to package directions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
  4. Reduce heat and stir in the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, mixing until well combined and the cheese has melted into the soup.
  5. Add Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste, then simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil. Enjoy!

Notes

To take this soup to the next level, consider alternatives like swapping ground beef with turkey or a plant-based option for a halal-friendly variation. Cooking the noodles separately until just al dente before adding could improve texture. Adding spinach or kale can boost nutrition and add color.
